    Based on some of the other comments you’re making, yes more than one country can be bad. And the crazy part is it doesn’t justify either country, both are still bad

      Liberals always tell me to support the lesser evil when it’s election time, but when I apply that logic to geopolitics they get mad lol

        When it comes to voting you are presented with a choice. You can abstain, but you will have to live with the result. You lose nothing by making as best of a choice as you can. To date I’ve not once been presented with the option to move to a new country, but if either were better I would chose the best option for myself even if neither is ideal.

        Both can still be bad options, but I find it hard to believe that neither is better than the other.

        Functionality when it comes to geopolitics I get absolutely no choice on it, so there’s not really a point in ranking evil unless I get the opportunity to chose. Then I absolutely will rank evils to find the best place for myself

          By your logic, there’s not really a point in declaring evil. You might as well have no opinion about any of this.

          Why even learn about geopolitics or other countries in the first place? You get “absolutely no choice on it” after all.

          You might as well say nothing at all.

            I see no point in ranking evil, however my country does interact on a global stage and theoretically that is guided by our representatives that the people chose. It’s good to stay informed and know which countries regularly abuse human rights. It’s a long list.

            Ideally I will be able to vote for a canidate that does not want to funnel money to Israel, they are perpetuating a genocide after all. If one is not available I’ll go down a long list of issues to determine the best choice.

              i do see a point.

              one is meddling in my country and is raising hell all over the planet.

              the other hasn’t dropped a single bomb in more than 50 years.
